“I’m a pharmaceutical executive by day, but a real estate investor by night.”

01:00

Christopher worked as a pharmaceutical executive for 20 years. He then transitioned into real estate investing and currently manages to juggle both successfully.

His investment journey began by renting out his own condo. This made him realize that passive investing could be the key to diversifying his portfolio and building long-term wealth.

“One of the things that was fundamentally important to us was to focus on recession-resistant asset classes.”

With financial freedom as his ultimate goal, Christopher turned to multifamily syndications, known to be recession-resistant assets. To educate himself, he read books, listened to podcasts, and connected with industry professionals.

Christopher shares key questions to ask operators before investing:

  • Does the operator have experience in your target market? 
  • How’s their track record? Get to know their team as well.

Christopher shares his insights on becoming a successful passive investor, even with limited real estate knowledge:

  • Invest in yourself and educate yourself about the industry.
  • Diversification is key. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

“We’re somewhere between 2 and 5 million housing units short in this country.”

Toward the end of the conversation, Christopher shares what he’s most excited about currently. He’s eager to educate more people about passive investing. He believes this can play a role in easing the current housing shortage. However, rising interest rates do concern him.

Finally, Christopher shares one point of clarity with the listeners – Get educated!
